Makes 8 cups
Approximate preparation time: 10 to 15 minutes
Reserve 1 cup of the tomatoes, ½ of the cucumbers,
½ of the yellow peppers, and ¼ of the red onion.
Insert the large metal chopping blade into the large work
bowl of the Cuisinart
®
Food Processor. Add the
remaining tomatoes, cucumber, yellow pepper, onion,
grape tomatoes, garlic, jalapeño, and cilantro to the work
bowl. Pulse to chop, about 25 pulses. Add the paprika,
sherry vinegar, bread, cumin, salt, pepper and sugar.
Process ingredients for 2 minutes; add the olive oil during
the last 10 seconds through the small feed tube. Remove
the soup base and place through a fine mesh strainer to
strain; continue to press juice through the strainer, using
a spatula or the bottom of a ladle, until the mixture is
very dry.
Pulse reserved vegetables 6 to 8 times to roughly chop.
Add chopped vegetables to the strained broth. Taste and
adjust seasonings accordingly; serve.
